President Donald Trump signed an executive order today that approves a deal to keep TikTok available in the United States after months of uncertainty about the future of the social media platform. Under the deal, TikTok will be spun off into a separate U.S. entity to comply with a 2024 law requiring the app’s China-based parent company ByteDance to divest or face a U.S. ban. The deal comes nine months after the law was originally set to go into effect and after several delays of the ban by the president. Administration officials revealed last week that the U.S. had a framework for a deal following trade talks with China. The Hill has more on the latest development.
